Week 5 - Term Test !!




Not a lot happened this week other the term test madness. I was surprised that the term test just popped up out of nowhere because it was not even around the time midterms start. As I looked at the term test from last semester I thought to myself maybe this course is not as easy as I judged it to be. Seven pages and questions worth 5 and 10 marks? YIKES! I was confident about the computer history and the definitions-expression part of the test but not so much with the scary 10 mark question where you had to provide a check-expect statement, contract comment, and completing the define statement and body of the definition... Just the question sounds intimidating, not to mention the fact that I was not even quite sure what some of terms even meant. In the process of preparing for this test, I spent a good 2 hours trying to understand how to add, multiply, convert to integers the binary numbers only to realize the morning of the test that it will not even be on the test. (Jeez! I should really check my webmail more often!) 

The test was in fact challenging and I messed up big time on the 10 mark question just like I had predicted… Should have spent more time on figuring out that question than on the binary numbers that was not even on the test....
